Niagara Escarpment AVA Wineries

Ann and John Martini moved to Yates County in 1973 to grow grapes and raise their family on 100 acres overlooking Seneca Lake. Ann managed the vineyard and raised the children, while John worked for Cornell University at the Agricultural Experiment Station. The grapes from their vineyards were first sold to the Taylor Wine Company and eventually to wineries across New York State. In 1990, Ann and John opened Anthony Road Wine Company, using grapes from the 1989 crop to produce their wines. Their children—Peter, Sarah, Maeve, and Elizabeth—have been involved in the vineyard and winery throughout their lives and are now full-time employees and co-owners of Anthony Road Wine Company. The joy of growing grapes and producing fine wines still motivates and excites the Martini family more than a quarter-century after the first vines took root. We are dedicated to cultivating and crafting exceptional wines with integrity and a sense of place to be shared at everyone's table.

The foundation of the Oakes Family legacy began in 1919 when Leonard Oakes bought land in the northwest corner of Orleans County. With this purchase, he forged the family's beginnings in agriculture, an endeavor that continues to this day. In 2003, the family business branched out. We planted our first wine grapes and began producing wines under a label that reflected our history. In honor of our founder, the first of what is now four generations to farm some of the same land, Leonard Oakes Estate Winery began with just six acres and fourteen varieties of grape. 2011 brought about another expansion in the family business and the SteamPunk Cider brand was born. Using a mélange of traditional English and new age dessert apples, SteamPunk Cider is the geared up infusion of Old World style and New World flair. Today we are known for producing award-winning wines and ciders. We look forward to the future while celebrating the history of our family and our land.

Stoutridge offers a wide range of products that inspire guests to be adventurous. Our process uses a mixture of tradition, innovation, discovery, and sustainability to form our uniquely, rich and complex flavors. For over twenty years, we have been devoted to using the best practices for our products and the planet.

Continually learning and working with his family to learn the techniques and traditions of the Mosel. Once he was of age he furthered his education by receiving his degree in Winemaking, Business & Agriculture. ​After university, he decided it was time to travel away from home and gain experience throughout different wine regions. This is how he ended up finding his way to the Finger Lakes region of New York just a few short years later. It is here that he met his wife Ashlee, a native to the finger lakes. Ashlee grew up enjoying the beautiful area surrounding Keuka Lake and could not help but return after receiving her degree in business administration and marketing. She also began working within the wine industry shortly after returning to the area. In the spring of 2016 they decided to take the leap and start their own winery, opening up Weis Vineyards. The first harvest for Weis Vineyards was Fall of 2016. With the tasting room opening and the first vintage being released in the spring of 2017. The first few years Peter and Ashlee utilized a quaint one-room schoolhouse to provide personalized tasting to everyone that visited them.
